- W71372952 abstract "Information available at present documents the existence of three well-defined classes of guanine nucleotide binding proteins functioning as signal transducers: Gs and Gi which stimulate and inhibit adenylate cyclase, respectively, and transducin which transmits and amplifies the signal from light-activated rhodopsin to cGMP-dependent phosphodiesterase in ROS membranes. Go is a fourth member of this family. Its function is the least known among GTP binding signal transducing proteins. The family of G proteins has a number of properties in common. All are heterotrimers consisting of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma. Each of the subunits may be heterogeneous depending on species and tissue of origin and may be posttranslationally modified covalently. The alpha subunits vary in size from 39 to 52 kDa. The sequences for Gs alpha and transducin alpha have 42% overall homology and those of Gi alpha and Gs alpha 43%, whereas those of Gi alpha and transducin alpha have a higher degree (68%) of homology. All alpha subunits bind guanine nucleotides and are ADP-ribosylated by either pertussis toxin (Gi, transducin, Go) or cholera toxin (Gs, Gi, transducin). Thus, transducin and Gi, which have the highest degree of sequence homology, are also ADP-ribosylated by both toxins. The beta subunits have molecular weights of 36 and 35 kDa, respectively. While Gs, Gi, and Go contain a mixture of both, transducin contains only the larger (36-kDa) beta-polypeptide. The relationship of the 36- and the 35-kDa beta subunits is not defined. Although the complete sequence of the 36-kDa beta subunit of transducin has been deduced from the cDNA sequence, complete sequences of other beta subunits are not yet available so that detailed comparisons cannot be made at present. However, the proteolytic profiles of each class of the beta subunits of different G proteins are indistinguishable. The gamma subunit of bovine transducin has been completely sequenced. It has a Mr of 8400. Again complete sequences of other gamma subunits are not yet available. While the gamma subunits of Gs, Gi, and Go have identical electrophoretic mobility in SDS gels, they differ significantly in this respect from the gamma subunit of transducin. Moreover, crossover experiments point to functional differences between gamma subunits from G protein and transducin complexes. In addition, a role for beta, gamma in anchoring guanine nucleotide binding proteins to membranes has been postulated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)" @default.
